The knight would have had a metal helmet that covered the whole face with grooves to see through. Some helmets also had small holes where the mouth was to help them breathe. Knights wore some chainmail underneath the weak spots on the armour, such as the armpit, which otherwise would have been exposed. The plate armour’s main disadvantage was that it restricted movement and could not cover every part of the…
The men of (unknown, kansa people, n.d.)The tribe wore a variety of clothes including a red or blue breechcloth with a belt, and deerskin leggings, and sometimes a blanket robe over the upper part of the body, often trimmed with fur. Buffalo hides were also worn as cloaks and moccasins were worn during the winter.

The Crusades were extremely violent times. With constant pressure to take back the holy city, armies were constantly fighting and killing. They were also always trying to find better and more efficient ways to fight and kill. Old weapons were engineered to be more destructive, new weapons were invented to destroy the ever-advancing technology in fortification. The three main categories of weaponry that were most important to the crusades were foot soldiers, knights, and siege weapons.…
Next, weapons evolved throughout the process of the crusades. Just as the people developed armor throughout the medieval time period surrounding the crusades, knights began to use more effective and dangerous weapons in combat with their enemy. Two different types of weapons were used during the Crusades: close combat weapons such as swords, maces, spears, and poleaxes, but also long distance weapons such as long bows and crossbows. Blacksmiths softened iron and then shaped the metal into customized weights, lengths, widths, and also shape for both swords and spears. Bows would be used for long distance attack and could be used on foot or on horseback. During the Crusades, the archers with long bows would line up and fire over city walls…

Being influence by one man so much greatly unified them. During the Pope 's speech he urged people to sew crosses on their clothing so they had a common symbol. This symbol identified them as Christians marching against the infidels. This gave them a uniform (Hill 449). Yet another reason that Christians were so strong was because they had so many people join the expedition. "On November 27, 1095 at the Council of Clermont, he [Pope Urban] delivered the address which led so many thousands to take the cross" (Brundage 7). But the large numbers of Crusaders willing to fight was not always a good thing.…
In This POW, our task was to find out how Carletta, a highly intelligent and very talkative student solved her wise teacher’s problem. She and two other students were complaining about the number of POW’s that they have had to complete throughout the semester. The teacher and the three students made a deal. The three complaining students would close their eyes and sit down in chairs. While they were sitting down, the teacher would take three hats out of a possible five, (3 blue hats and 2 red hats) and place one hat on each student’s head and then hide the other two. Then, one at a time, the students would open their eyes, look at the other two students’ heads, and try to guess which color hat was on their own head. The students had two options. They could either to guess what color of hat they had on their own head or pass. If a student guessed the correct color of hat on their own head they would be exempt from any POW’s the rest of the semester, but if they guess wrong they had to do all of the POW’s as well as grading all of the others students’ POW’s. The other option is to pass, if a student chose to pass then the workload stayed the same. The first student, Arturo, opened his eyes and looked at the other person’s heads. He couldn’t tell for sure what color of hat he had on, so he decided to pass. The next student, Belicia, looked up and saw that she couldn’t tell by looking at the other’s hats either so she decided to pass also. Carletta was third. She sat there, with her eyes still closed tightly and said, “I know what color hat I have on,” and she gave the correct answer. Our task is to find out how she did this.…
The war that was about to begin was not for seen to make it worse, but it did. As the Catholics headed over to take back their holy lands, they had to make stops. They needed to gather supplies such as food for themselves, food for their horses, and weapons. They gathered their supplies by raiding cities, much like the Mongols had done. They ruthlessly killed the people of the city that fought against them. As the Crusaders proceeded to raid cities they accidentally destroyed a Catholic city. They had thought they were killing and taking food and other supplies from Muslims, but they were actually betraying themselves. As they continued on with their war it had gotten more violent as time went on. They killed anyone who was to stand in their way. They wore armor with a big red cross on the front to signify to people who they were. If a villager had saw incoming people with red crosses, they knew that they were about to dieThe First Crusade had lasted four years, from 1095 ad to 1099 ad. The Crusaders had taken back their land, Jerusalem, but little did they know, that was not the end of it. The First Crusade had left a mark on many other societies, as well as their…
Of course the noble class and religious leaders would wear clothing that was much more adorned, though still tilmas and loincloths and skirts would be worn. There would be symbols of their particular affiliation on the clothing or in a head dress. The more prestigious clothing became brightly colored. Gold was often used in clothing, and pendants, feathers, furs, and other forms of decoration were used. Jewelry such as necklaces, earrings and bracelets were also worn by the upper classes. Like tribes still in mesoamerica today, some wore "ear spools". Of course, for certain rituals costumes were worn which became even more elaborate. Aztec masks were used for rituals, representing various Aztec…

Their legs were bare and they wore leather sandals if they weren’t barefoot. Many men went barefoot their whole lives.…
The Knights role in Medieval Times centered around enhancing their knightly skills in the use of weapons, horsemanship and medieval warfare. The Medieval Knights Armor was extremely expensive to produce. It had to be tailor-made to fit the Knight exactly or the Knight ran the risk of an ill-fitting suit of armor hampering him in battle. A Medieval Knight's Armor was a complex series of garments, chain mail, and iron plate. The warhorse, often a destroyer, was favored by the Knight on a horse.…
